Loteria in Spanish!

Students got ready for the Holiday Season. They played Loteria!!! OLE!

Free Choice in Tech!

This week in Technology the students had free choice. They were able to choose any of the games and programs we have used so far this year, or they could play in my Lego box - which is always a special treat for children of all ages (and me)!

Second Grade in Spanish

Second graders presented their restaurant skits in Spansih this week. One person was the customer, ordering food and a drink, and their partner was the waiter/waitress. The whole skit was in Spanish and they did a wonderful job and had a great time!

Third Grade Naturalists!!!

 Third graders continue their "naturalist" adventures in the woods behind CHA. A lot has changed in the environment since the last time we recorded our observations. A lot less leaves - and a bit chilly, too!

Students noted animal trails, crow patterns, gigantic leaves, and beautiful frost patterns on the ground and on leaves. And much much more!
It is amazing what one sees when they pay attention and look closely at nature.

Kindergarten Tech

The Kindergarten students have been helping Rainbow Fish rescue his friends who were swallowed by the hiccuping whale! They have to solve a variety of puzzles and perform various tasks to rescue Milo, Giggles, Ruby, Blue and assorted fish. Once they have found Sea Filly she will lead them to Marcello the Mechanic who will help them fix the geyser and stop the hiccups. It is a lot of fun and a great way to practice mouse and problem solving skills.

Third Grade Tech - Adventures in Zoombiniville

The Third Graders are doing an excellent job transporting the Zoombinis to their new land and freeing them from the tyranny of the Bloats. Over the Allergic Cliffs, through the Stone Cold Caves and Pizza Pass. If they have enough Zoombinis left at this point they can store some of them at Shelter Point before taking Captain Cajun's ferryboat to the Deep Dark Forest where they must work out which of the Tattooed Toads will safely transport them across. You get the picture - it is a lot of fun and involves some serious head scratching!

4th & Middle School Totem Pole

4th graders and Middle School students worked hard on their Totem Pole project! After we learned about Natvie American Totem Poles and concept of symbols, we created symbols of ourselves and put it together to make a long totem pole.

PE - Middle School and Third Grade

Students enjoyed a wild game of "Barrier Ball" in PE. This is always the game of choice when classes have earned a "free day".

2nd Grade Spanish

Second graders reveiewed the food vocabulary by playing "Donde esta la pegatina?" (Where is the sticker?) and students led the game by hiding a sticker and asking where it is located in Spanish.

They also received a partner in class and are practicing their restaurant skits in class. They will be presenting their skits in Spanish to the class.

2nd-Middle School Spanish

Second grade - Middle School students practiced singing a silly version of the 12 Days of Christmas this week. They are getting ready for the Festival of Peace and Light.
